Influencing“Years ago, I tried to top everybody, but I don’t anymore. I realized it was killing conversation. When you’re always trying for a topper, you aren’t really listening. It ruins communication.”
-- Groucho Marx

Used when the person you’re communicating with is open to exploring opportunities for change/improvement
“So, imagine if you were on the receiving end of the trolling behaviors you’re showing. Logically, how would you react to those combative behaviors? What might the consequences be?”
